"For me, strong communication skills are essential for collaboration. When I was a Resident Assistant in college, I had to collaborate frequently with the other RAs in my complex to ensure that we were fulfilling our requirements and meeting our students' needs. I set up a group chat for all the RAs at the beginning of the school year to stay on the same page. I also think that having each other's back is very important when collaborating. I would offer to switch weekend shifts and help out with other floors' bulletin boards."
